Second term is neglected for slope less than 10%.

Slope for given problem for:

C) (2/20)*100 = 10%.
D) (3/20)*100 = 15%.

So for h = 2 m or less it is neglected.

And for h = 3 m it will be taken into account.

For slope >=20%, the 2nd term can be neglected.
Taking minimum slope as 20%,
Slope = 20%
or, h/d =20%
or, h/20 = 20%
or, h = 20 * 20%
or, h = 4.

Since the value nearer to 4 is 3, so the right answer is 3.

Here all the options are correct as we apply them in the second term because the answer is in 10^-3.

So it is neglected. As we take to consider the highest value always so 3 is the correct answer.

H should be less than 3.

Even if it is substituted in the formula, the second term will get negligible (very small number-even neglecting the term will not affect the answer).

For slope (M) up to 20%.
Slope correction(Sc) = h^2/(2l).
Here d = 20m,
M = h/d,
0.2 = h/20.
H = 0.2 * 20 = 4m.
Here the nearest one is 3m.
So 3m is the appropriate answer.

The second term can be negleted only if the slopes flatter than 1 in 25..
That means 4%.

i.e, 4% of 20m = 0.8(4/5) ie, H shouldn't higher than 0.8m.
So option A is right.

FOR SLOPE >=20% THEN 2ND TERM NEGLECTED.
Take min slope 20%,
SLOPE h^2/2l = 20%,
h^2/2 * 20 = 20%,
h^2 = 20% * 40,
h^2 = 8.
h approximately 2.83 which is nearly to 3.

H^4/8L^3 = 0 or near to 0 which is neglected to measure, when I put h<3 (1/2,1,2), results are below 1mm, which is hard to measurable. So, 3 is correct.

If the second term is neglected the slope correction falls under <=20%.
So it may be taken as h^2/2l=20%.

h^2/2*20=0.2.
h=2.82<3.
So answer is 3.

For slope (M) up to 20%.
According to me, the solution is;


Slope correction(Sc) = h^2/(2l).
Here d = 20m,
M = h/d,
0.2 = h/20.
H = 0.2 * 20 = 4m.
